Resource Mobilization and Preparedness to Control Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever in Medan, North Sumatera

Background: Infectious diseases continuously emerge and/or reemerge, resulting in epidemics of varying sizes and scope. Infection preventionists undertake preparedness activities to ensure that the healthcare facilities and communities are well-prepared to recognize and respond to an infectious disease epidemic. Infectious disease epidemic preparedness is an ever evolving process that addresses the four principles of emergency management: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. This study aimed to determine the relationship between resource mobilization within community and preparedness to control DHF. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was carried out in Medan, North Sumatera. A sample of 100 household heads was selected for this study by random sampling. The dependent variable was preparedness to control DHF. The independent variable was resource mobilization within the community. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by chi-square with Odd Ratio (OR) as the measure of association. Results: Preparedness to control DHF was positively associated with resource mobilization within the community (OR= 3.22; 95% CI= 1.32 to 7.85; p= 0.001). Conclusion: Preparedness to control DHF is associated with resource mobilization within the community. Keywords: dengue haemorrhagic fever, control, preparedness, resource mobilization

The data were analyzed by using multiple linear regression analysis by applying the assumption of multicolliniarity, heteroscedasticity, and normality data. The result showed that the variables of knowledge and work motivation had positive influence on the implementation of EWSS (P-Value 0,00) which indicated that Y model = 0,236 X1+ 0,535 X2 in which Y was EWSS implementation, X1 was knowledge, and X2 was work motivation. The conclusion was that increase in knowledge and work motivation would be followed by the increase in EWSS implementation. It is recommended that the hospital management maximize the implementation of EWSS by increasing the level of knowledge and work motivation. Key Word: Knowledge, Work Motivation, EWS

Role of Human Resource, Facilities, and Infrastructure in Early Warning System of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever in Dumai, Riau

Background: Dengue/dengue hemorrhagic fever (DF/DHF) has been one of the most important resurgent tropical diseases in the past 3 decades, with expanding geographical distribution of both the viruses and the mosquito vectors, increased frequency of epidemics, development of hyper-endemicity (co-circulation of multiple virus serotypes), and the emergence of DHF in new areas. Early warning systems (EWS) are in most instances, timely surveillance systems that collect information on epidemic-prone diseases in order to trigger prompt public health interventions. An EWS is an instrument for communicating information about impending risks to vulnerable people before a hazard event occurs, thereby enabling actions to be taken to mitigate potential harm, and sometimes, providing an opportunity to prevent the hazardous event from occurring. This study aimed to describe the role of human resource, facilities, and infrastructure in EWS of dengue haemorrhagic fever in Dumai, Riau. Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study conducted in Dumai, Riau. A sample of informants was selected for this study, including personnel from Dumai City Health Office, health center doctors, and communicable disease control personnel. The study theme was adequacy of resources for DHF EWS. The data were collected by in-depth interview, observation, and document review. Results: The qualification, competence, and number of human resources for DHF surveillance and EWS at Dumai Municipality Health Office had not conformed with the standards. Facilities and infrastructure, including computing devices, were sufficient in number. However, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for DHF surveillance program and EWS was non-existent. Conclusion: Health personnel for DHF control and prevention are limited in number competence and qualification. SOP for DHF surveillance program and EWS is non-existent.

The Relationships of Motivation and Sanction with Hand Hygiene Compliance among Health Workers at Dr. Pirngadi Hospital, Medan, North Sumatera

Background: Hand hygiene is described by many health care workers as the single most important tool in preventing the spread of health care-associated infections between patients. Washing hands before and after patient contact seems like a simple solution to prevent the spread of bacteria between patients. Most hospitals have hand hygiene policies in place that guide their employees to do just that. But this policy is not always complied with. This study aimed to determine the associations of presence of sanction and motivation with hand hygiene compliance among health workers at Dr. Pirngadi Hospital, Medan. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted at Dr. Pirngadi Hospital, Medan, North Sumatera. A sample of 33 health workers were selected for this study by exhaustive sampling. The dependent variable was hand hygiene compliance. The independent variables were sanction and motivation. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a mulitiple logistic regression. Results: Hand hygiene compliance was associated with the presence of sanction (OR= 3.44; 95%CI= 1.22 to 4.95; p= 0.041) and motivation (OR= 4.77; 95%CI= 2.52 to 6.30; p= 0.029). Conclusion: Hand hygiene compliance is associated with sanction and motivation. Keywords: hand hygiene, compliance, sanction, motivatio
